Tea for Sweaty Palms and Soles

My son, age 11, has the stinkiest feet! I heard about soaking feet in tea, and so I boiled some tea and made my son sit, soaking his feet in the tea for about half an hour. It really works! I was completely shocked and so was he! The stink was gone for about 3 months and must be repeated. But that was the sweetest smelling 3 months that we have had in a very long time!

WORKED GREAT ON SMELLY SWEATY FEET OF MY HUSBAND!! ONLY ONE SOAK, MADE IT REALLY STRONG AND JUST BOUGHT THE CHEAP $1 STORE BRAND OF TEA. HE NEEDS ANOTHER TREATMENT NOW, BUT NOT AS BAD. BUT IT HAS ALSO BEEN AT LEAST 8 MONTHS SINCE THE INITIAL SOAK. WE ARE SATISFIED. HAD A YOUNG TENNIS PLAYER'S MOTHER ASK ME (AS A NURSE) HOW TO SOLVE HER SWEATY PALMS WHEN SHE PLAYS TENNIS. WE WILL TRY THIS. WORKED GREAT ON FEET, SHOULD WORK ON THE HANDS TOO...

I wonder if it works for feet & palms if it might also work for underarms that suffer from sweating excessively?

It barely worked for me, it gave me slight relief and turned my hands & feet (nails included) orange. I even tried using vasoline on my nails, but it didnt help. Then when I tried the "white tea" bags, it gave no relief at all.

I'd hate to get a sympathectomy. I've read it is risky (as any surgery), but may not even be effective. Besides the fact that the sweat will most likely relocate & with my luck it will be my nose or something. I wish SOMETHING would help me. I even hate getting on the computer. The sweat bothers me all day everyday. awful.

i have sweaty hands and feet...if i soak my hands and feet in a quart of water containing tea bags will my sweaty hands be cured permanently? for how many days do i need to soak them in order to cure the problem permanently

I am a nurse and have suffered the embarrassment of sweaty stinky feet for years despite very good hygiene. I just tried this remedy and I feel the positive effects already. Thank you Thank you. I can not thank you enough!

I haven't tried tea for sweaty palms and soles and I guessed I would really try it after reading some comments here. I just would like to ask also if it could work also on sweaty underarms? Thanks!

I used Malt Vinegar on my feet and it cured my odour feet

i have really bad sweaty feet and hands and the tea bags don't really seem to help. the sweaty feet are sooo embarrassing. for how many days or weeks should i soak my feet in tea for? should i wash them with soap after i finish soaking them? help me please....

I'm 16 and have this problem too..I was surprised that I wasn't alone. I thought something was wrong with me.. But I will definitely try tea for both my feet and hands :) thanks for your help :)

I'm almost 15, and my hands and feet are very very sweaty. They don't stink, but it gets very frustrating when you can't wear your favorite pair of flip flops knowing that your feet will be sweating like crazy later. I'm starting to think it's all in my head and I'm getting nervous, but I'll be getting a job soon and I don't want things like this holding me back. I'll definitely try this :)

Please tell me what kind of tea I can use because there are so many teas in the store.

Thank you.

My son suffers from very sweaty palms and feet. His feet literally drip sweat. I told him about this and he tried it.

He steeps 6 tea bags in a quart of boiling water, then after 10-15 minutes adds enough cool water to make it manageable and then soaks his hands in it, then his feet. It also helps to squeeze the tea bags during the soaking to get all the tannins out. No more sweaty palms and soles! He does this a few times a week.

I am 12 and i have sweaty hands and feet, and it is embarrassing when you have to hold hands with people and they look at you weird :) and its annoying and I can't wear flip flops because they feel weird or slide off. i will try this.

My feet are always hot and therefore sweat a lot. I have ruined $100 shoes in less than a month because of the stink that I can't get out of them. I will definitely try this.

Also try putting some foam insoles in your shoes. They help absorb the moisture and also keep a little more air circulating around your feet. I have to change the insoles every few weeks but at least the insoles absorb the odor and not the shoes. (Use the foam ones, not the gel ones. Dr. Sholls are good, but some drug stores have their own brand which is usually much cheaper.)

I have had this problem all my life--feet and hands--dripping sweat. I am terrified of handshakes. Most of the time my hand and feet are terribly dry, but when I get a bit anxious or even think about it, they are dripping in seconds. The sweating is never mild. I have noticed that coffee has an effect on my sweating, so I am controlling its intake. I will definitely try the tea option, thank you.

I'm 15 and I had these disgusting sweaty hands since birth. Also my feet do get really red hot and sweaty . Both my hands and feet become hot and sweaty if I get a tiny bit nervous or if I'm just hot. I'm hoping to allah , jesus, god, christ , whoever is up there that the tea bag thing will work. I don't think i can take another handshake or another bad relationship with a male over this stupid palm sweat.

I'm too embarrassed to wear flip flops from the redness and sweat of my feet. I don't like raising my hands either , or even using my hands to touch someones else's belongings or whatever b/c they always have some kind of reaction like "are your hands that sweaty!?"

I know it sounds a bit over dramatic and stupid but I've cried over this multiple times b/c I could get over how people were making me feel about it. Thanks for the poor people to read my comment anyhow I'm done ranting and venting on this topic , ill be somewhat optimistic about this stuff and hope it cures my hands and feet !

I know how you feel. Same story over here. I do this yoga class thing and we have to get on our hands and feet on this painted wood floor and for some reason the weird floor makes pools of sweat form in my hands and I slide! It's so awful. Plus there's just the regular sweating for the heck of it.

I have not noticed coffee influencing my sweaty hands or feet, but that's an interesting thought. So glad I'm not alone!

I'm going to try this, so wish me luck!
:D

I have read a few websites that have recommended tea, so I am currently sat soaking my feet in tea right now (even though I hate tea & the smell is making me feel sick!!). I really hope it works because I have just started a new job & the smell is so embarrassing. Just a bit worried the tea might stain my skin & nails (has anybody else had that problem?)..will post results next week if this works or not!!!!!

Hi What Tea should I use? Is it black tea or lemon tea.. please advise.

I've read that you should use black tea... and the stronger the better!!
I've been using 1 kettle full of boiled water with enough cold water to cool it down, and 6 teabags!

I was wondering if this tea bag thing helped you? My hands and feet sweat way too much also! I used to think it was because I was nervous but I have realized I sweat even when I'm just laying on my bed. This is really messing with my life. Could you please get back to me!
